Old content rare spawn times

Community General Discussion

Can you please drop spawn times for rares to 10 or 15 minutes or something like that? i was farming some rares in Maldraxxus and these spawn times are just too much for old content. this is not gaming just waiting, and if you decide to do something else and it spawns in the meantime people 1shot it and you will have to wait another 30/60 min. Older content should be like 10/15 min max.

Instead I’d suggest something else. Leave the “long” respawn time, but increase the droprates of rare items to near 100% for characters 10+ levels above that expansion’s cap.

Additionally, do not despawn rare enemies to spawn newer ones.

Yeah, the more years go on the more it irks me.
The wait seems way too excessive for ‘abandoned’ content and its a complete waste of our time.

For items i agree especially when they are tied to achievements

Yeah, that’d be nice.

That doesn’t solve the issue for hunters wanting a rare tame.

Would also be nice if they made it so unique tameable models wouldn’t overlap with rares so consistently. Most of the time it makes for frustrating player encounters where a hunter wants to tame something that another wants a cosmetic from.

I’m definitely in favour of getting rid of pure wait for excessive periods of time mobs when they are no longer current content. Maybe when they become legacy.

Rare for a reason.
Keep crying casul.

Let’s apply the same nonsensical, stupid logic here:
Should I get invincible on 1st try solely because I want to?

are u serious? having to wait hours just to complete some older achievements because you didnt play the expansion at the time? and not only having to wait hours also pulling the slot machine hoping that 1 item you need to drop actually? just go back to classic you baboon

Not really the same thing, is it?
You don’t have to wait an X amount of hours to get Arthas to spawn.
You can just go kill him whenever and on however many alts als you’d like.

If it would be something like 15 minutes wait time, that would actually make it about equal to legacy raid bosses. The drop doesn’t have to be 100%, just less useless waiting.

Oh really?
Are you gonna aknowledge the similarity or do I have to make you look… you know?

Why not both? :eyes:

Feels a bit greedy. :sweat_smile:

Generally I support more the idea of an enemy being harder to find but ensuring you get what you want from it without RNG, than play slot machine with a “rare” enemy where I can try every 15mins.

I don’t want to it to be Time Lost Proto Drake levels of rare. I’d say that having a random rare in a zone spawn every hour, and allow overlaps of all rares is a “good” RPG feeling too.

But waiting afk in an area and hoping that I get that 1% chance when it spawns? That’s not what collectors and completionists want.

I’d still ask for both if I could, blizzard always under delivers with these things, half baking solutions, you never know :eyes:

Maybe start first with understanding what is written.
Less time waiting is not me asking to get it on the first try, so get over yourself.

What is up with all these children on the forum.

If it’s old content and it’s a waste of time then…

not doing it and not wasting your time.

wait for remix or idk. Just dont

I sure do love long respawn times to awful drop rates! :grimacing:

Killed Fallen Charger 19 times in the Maw, that thing has an 8 hour respawn time… still no mount to a 10% drop rate. :expressionless:
